I'm always a big fan of supporting local business, and this place definitely deserves it. Kent is one of the nicest owners you'll ever meet and the town is just a gem. The Bottle Shop has always had any alcohol we've needed and at great prices. I highly recommend everyone to stop by here on your way to the lake. You'll be greeted with warm smiles and snag some great prices on booze!

It is a solid place to stop whether you know exactly what you want or need some guidance, since a lot of the employees are knowledgeable and willing to help. They also do tastings from time to time, which can be fun if you are there with friends. The last time I went, I needed help picking out a tequila and the worker walked me through the basics and gave me a few options. I ended up going with his recommendation and it was a big hit at the party. I also come here specifically for THC drinks since they have a huge variety. Pricing is a little high, but that seems pretty standard everywhere for this kind of stuff, so it is not surprising. I have had a couple moments where workers at the tasting stations came off a bit off putting, but that has been outweighed by the other staff who are much more engaged and helpful. If you are looking for a place with a wide selection and people who can help you choose, this is definitely worth checking out.

I drove around a little thinking doesn't this town have any liquor stores? Then I see beer lights in this house. Yes the liquor store is in a converted older house. I see Spotted Cow right away as I enter, but they had 12 packs in cans. I do not like beer in cans, so worker says they have it in bottles in a case. He walks to the back of the house/store to get it for me. I've had moon man in the past. He tells me Totally Naked beer is a lighter form of Spotted Cow so I get a 6 pack of that. My id wasn't even checked, but I'm 46. $40 later and man carries out the case to the car for me. Wow, great service. Only flaw was parking was for 4 cars in front and had to wait for this pickup to leave the entrance to lot. Luckily, no traffic behind me. Support the locals!

The staff here is wonderful as they seem happy to help and are knowledgeable about the products sold.

The staff is…read morepretty knowledgeable about just about anything, and I have never been steered wrong in a recommendation when I could not make up my mind. My favorite side is the cheese/deli side. I enjoy Surdyk's, but they seem to have cut back on their product offerings, so I have been coming down here to France 44. They have a wonderfully curated selection of cheese of all varieties. You want soft cheese. If you are unsure of a cheese you might be interested in, the cheesemongers will certainly provide you with a description, and even allow you to sample before you buy. To complement your cheese, there is a nice array of cured meats, crackers, olives, etc to add to the cheese-eating experience. One thing I would add is that this establishment is not unlike shopping at Target. You enter to pick up one or two items, and you leave with much more than you intended.

Over the last couple of years, I have visited Surdyk's less and less (but probably won't stop until…read morethey no longer carry the one wine only they seem to have). Compared with the other two wine stores I frequent (one big box and one independent, both in uptown), it's so much less friendly and the "consultants" seem less knowledgeable than me. The other day, I asked two ostensibly "wine consultants" about the difference between two producers of red Burgundy (at about the same price point), and neither knew. So I didn't buy either (but went uptown to another place where the consultant easily explained between two producers and then suggested an altogether different one, based on my preferences). Today, I did a pickup of my favorite plus some beer, went into the store, and the tall blonde woman was downright abrupt. Really, do better.
